WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet.
There are 2 brackets found in the parts bag. Attach the brackets
using Option Number 1 if the countertop is wood, laminate or
another similar surface. If your countertop is marble, granite or
another hard surface, install using Option Number 2.
Option 1, Countertop Attachment
Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the open
slots on the left and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as
shown.
Using a pair of pliers, bend the tab down to secure the bracket in
place. Repeat this step for the other side.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.
